Knuckleball! Ratings & Reviews
Bloomberg News
Greg Evans
The charming Knuckleball finds something universal here, about obsession, talent, perseverance and, rarest of all, good sportsmanship.
Film Comment Magazine
John Wildman
Knuckleball! is more than enjoyable if you are a fan of the game of baseball. And while it wouldn't be an obvious win for the uninitiated, Wakefield and Dickey do not make it difficult for the viewer to cheer for them.
Orlando Weekly
Rob Boylan
A microcosm of baseball itself, the knuckleball is a cruel, unpredictable thing.
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
The knuckleball is something like the quintessence of baseball, the ineffable and the impossible, pursued again and again. The film makes this magic part especially visible, in slow motion sequences and archival game tapes, nostalgia and reverie.
Bangitout.com
Jordan Hiller
Watching R.A. Dickey become one of the biggest sports celebrities in New York was about as welcome a surprise as a knuckleball that floats and drops under the batter's swing.
Film Journal International
Rex Roberts
An uplifting documentary about perseverance and determination reminds us that the national pastime still offers old-school heroes.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The sweet achievement of "Knuckleball!," Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's documentary about this quixotic pitch and the quixotic men who throw it, is that it gives both sides equal play.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
With elements of "Moneyball" and a twist of the narrative arm, this look at how Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey became knuckleball experts is a real kick.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
A first-rate sports documentary in any season.
AV Club
Noel Murray
There's plenty of real drama in this movie without Stern and Sundberg having to pump it up.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Considers one of baseball's greatest quirks with good humor and a glancing touch.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Well-produced sports doc puts viewers in the pitchers' shoes.
Boston Phoenix
Michael C. Walsh
For a film that's centered around such a silly-looking pitch, Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg's documentary is packed with considerable drama.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
I could watch Phil Niekro reminisce about being owned by Bill Buckner for days. If you know what that means, you probably could, too.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
This chronicle of two athletes throwing baseball's funkiest, least respected pitch is given depth by their stranger-than-fiction underdog status and camaraderie with mentors who've had the same struggles.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Immediately leaps near the top of the list of greatest baseball documentaries.
